Roam Wild’s Financial Model
Financial-Support Standards
Roam Wild is founded on the notion that all youth, regardless of financial means, should be able to participate in the joys of outdoor adventure. In order to do this, we work with families to both look for ways to reduce costs as well as work with sponsors in the community. Parents may also pay through monthly installments for up to two years.
Financial Support Program Guidelines
Roam Wild is committed to making camp accessible to every child, regardless of family income. To that end, we ask families to pay only a registration fee up front — from $35 (one‑day trips) up to $175 (10–12 day trips). After registration, we’ll work with each family to set an affordable total payment and, if needed, arrange a monthly payment plan. While we always try to reduce fees for families in need, reductions depend on available funds and the number of families already registered — so early sign‑up increases the chance of receiving support.

Families may choose to pay for the cost of their child’s camp up front in one lump sum, or they may pay over time. Though, ultimately, it is up to the family to decide how much, if anything, beyond the registration fee, the family is willing to pay.
